Long Layover at Dulles Airport? 5 Local Craft Breweries to Check Out
If you’re stuck at Dulles Airport (outside Washington, DC) for an extended period of time and have had your fill of the Air & Space Museum, I’ve found another option.
There are no wineries within easy distance of the Dulles airport, but there are a bunch of craft breweries less than 15 minutes and a $13 Uber/Lyft away! Not the cheapest of adventures, but if you consider the cost and boredom of spending hours in a bleak Dulles terminal or subpar airport lounge…
Note that locations that don’t serve food often allow delivery from local restaurants.

Note: If you haven’t checked out the Udvar-Hazy Center (Air & Space Museum at Dulles) yet, you should! They have storage lockers that can accommodate carry on size bags and there’s a public bus to and from Dulles Airport. Just take the  Fairfax Connector #983 one stop.
